JANUARY 30, 2015
OTSEGO COUNTY, MICHIGAN — One lane on a portion of Alba Road
was closed Friday afternoon around 1 p.m. following a two car accident,
involving an SUV and a garbage truck.
Otsego County Sheriff's deputies reported the accident
occurred after the garbage truck briefly lost traction turning into a residence
on Alba Road, near the Antrim County line. An SUV traveling behind the garbage truck also
lost control on the slippery roads and crashed into the back of the garbage
truck.
The Otsego County EMS was on scene, but deputies say those
involved in the accident refused hospital care. There was a pregnant woman
involved in the accident who may have went in for care later in the day as a
precautionary measure, though deputies said she appeared to be fine.
The road was very icy at some portions and whenever it is
icy, deputies encourage all drivers to use caution when traveling.
